Covariant meson-exchange model of the anti-kaon nucleon interaction

Abstract

A covariant meson-exchange model of the anti-kaon nucleon interaction within the framework of the Bethe-Salpeter equation is presented. With just one free parameter we are able to get a good description of the available experimental data from below threshold to 300 MeV laboratory momentum.
